Summer in America's Great Outdoors: Share Your Photos

The Department of the Interior is creating a photo collection of all the fun and exciting things people can do on America’s public lands this summer, and they need your help.

The U.S. Department of the Interior manages some of America’s most breathtaking national parks, national wildlife refuges and other public lands. That is why I am excited to invite you to join our new photo project, Summer in America’s Great Outdoors.

Our goal is to create a large photo collection of all the fun and exciting things people can do on America’s public lands this summer, and you are our greatest advocates in making this a reality. Many people do not know about all the amazing places across the country they can enjoy – places that belong to all Americans. With your help, we’ll help people better understand the great opportunities for fun this summer in their own backyards and across the country.

Take a look at the photos already submitted on our Summer in America’s Great Outdoors Flickr group, where we will be highlighting these photos all summer -- and send us your hiking, camping, fishing, biking, sightseeing, and other outdoor recreation photos by email. Please include a short description of the location, so we can properly identify all the great public lands across the country.
